Of course I was right to report ;-). It was explicitly requested that I do so in the release notes (or possibly on the netinst download screen). On the other hand, maybe I did uncover a bug in the installer. Keep reading...

Does "free" report the full 2 GB on other OSes (Ubuntu Live CD, > Windows?), and/or do you see the full 2 GB with "memtest86+"? Hi Jim, I just noticed that 1 GB was in the report. My system--once installed--has always reported 2 GB.

I'll pass that on to some other folks on debian-user that had the same issue. Hmmm, I recall entering my language and locale at the beginning of the installation. Perhaps the installer should have set LC_ALL to en_US.UTF-8, in which case libpaper1 would have defaulted to letter instead of A4. Maybe this *is* a bug in the installer? On the other hand, I wouldn't mind if the US switched to A4 :-). And the metric system. I can dream.
